    1.Bleed the cooling system. There maybe air pocket inside. Crank up and car and open the radiator cap and let it run for 5 minutes. Turn on your heater at the same time.

    2. Thermostat maybe stuck, it's cheap to put a new one if you haven't change it yet.

    3. Smell your tail pipe. If you can smell coolant, you have a bad head gasket.

    4. Open you oil cap. If you can see moisture or gummy light green stuff, you have a bad head gasket.
